Lots of TG J award availability to/from Sydney

[Finale]

Oh really?

I went onto KF to check. I put in some dummy dates for MEL/LHR in J on the KF search and nothing came up in June, July or August 2022 let alone Dec/January 2022/3.

I went as early as next month (April 2022) and still nada on KF.

I did just SYD-BKK as I fly this route often. Maybe only some specific routes as well.

I'm not sure what the problem is. Seems to be lots of availability on united,com, eg:

Correct. There is plenty on UA. I have a bank of KF miles I want to burn on star alliance rather than on SQ metal, yet no star alliance inventory seems to be showing, yet appears/bookable via UA.

I have already booked 2x seats via UA. Wanting to do the rest via KF rather than sourcing more UA miles when I already have a bank of KF miles that will expire soon.

No J on LM. In fact just sporadic Y availability to the end of the year. Plus you need more points BKK-SYD than the reverse.

My original question is, why is the J award availability on UA bookable, but not seemingly showing on either KF or LM?

UA used to be the worst of the programs as you generally got the scraps from what showed up on KF or LM first. This seems to have reversed for some reason?

Though the only airline with reasonable J awards on LM is UA.
We got a few TG awards through LM pre covid as well. Would love to get that option back.

Interesting to see that Y class seats are showing on LM if I search individual segments: MEL/BKK and then BKK/LHR.

But when I do the search on MEL/LHR nothing shows.

LM just shows the "more fare options" button on the segments so they are not offering the TG J award inventory still.

KF still showing nothing...

I can still see 2x seats on UA. Looks like I am buying UA miles even though I have a tonne of KF miles still to burn through. Oh well.
